Destined/Fated (2021) Episode 1: Piece of Paper

While I appreciate that most low budget Filipino (Pinoy) boys' love (BL) series at least try to represent characters from the low income class of Philippine society, most of them actually fail to provide just representations. Some of them even contribute to furthering stereotypes about poor people. It remains to be seen if this series will be another one of those failures. Episode 1: Piece of Paper introduced the two lead characters, Nico and Lawrence. It was weird for Lawrence to just offer his residence to Nico, a snatcher, whom he just met. Related to this, screenplay had lines that defied common sense. But it was conversational enough for the most part with some sensible dialogues. Obviously newbies, JC and Lawrence need improvement on their acting. Audio-visuals were mostly amateurish. All in all, I hope this series gets better on the next episodes.
